Received this postcard from my buddy who shifted to Canada after her marriage.
It features Yonge-Dundas Square in Toronto.
Can’t wait to be there personally. I’m crossing my fingers that this wish will come true next year. 
剛剛收到好朋友從加拿大寄來的明信片
片上的地方是位於加拿大多倫多市中心的央-登打士廣場
這明信片就是在那買的
很希望有一天能夠親自到那裡走走看看
體會一下多倫多的風情
期望明年這個願望就能實現

Jackie Teddy Bear recently moved to a new location at Park Mall (still at basement 1 though). So there’s a change in the outlook of the store. It’s more cosy and much brighter than before as the store colour had changed from green to white.
最近Jackie泰迪熊店因為搬到新的位置(但還是在同一所大廈的底層)
所以店面也換了個新樣貌
不再是以暗綠色為主
而是改用了白色
現在的店面比以前更明亮更溫馨了
Do pop by if you have a chance to. Jackie and the teddies will always welcome you. ^^
有空的話﹐請到店裡走一走
Jackie和熊熊們一定會非常歡迎你的 ^^

I haven’t been “in contact” with teddy bears for quite a long while, so it’s kind of exciting to know that a teddy bear fair & tea party is coming up. You get to look at beautiful teddies, have a great snack and the chance to chat with bear artists and bear lovers. Such a wonderful feeling!
Come take a look at the teddy scene now.
好久沒有接觸小熊熊了
知道最近有個泰迪熊展覽兼下午茶會
心情就顯得有點興奮
可以看到許多可愛的泰迪熊
享用美味的茶點
還能和熊熊創作者與愛好者聊聊天
是再也快樂不過的事了
來吧﹐現在就跟著我到熊熊樂園轉一圈﹗

Can you imagine someone who has been making teddy bears for 25 years and still going strong about it? Ginger Brame is one of these great artists (I believe there’s many more out there) and I’m very lucky to own one of her beautiful creations.
I’m not good at describing things. So, instead of going on and on about her lovely bears, I would rather you make a trip down to The Piece Parade or Bearbits to take a look. I’m sure you will not be disappointed. And yes, Ginger is currently hosting a silver anniversary blog giveaway. You will stand a chance to own Easter Surprise. Draw ends on 24th March. So hurry down there and have fun admiring her teddies!! (^o^)
你可以想像花了二十五年的心思和時間在製作泰迪熊上嗎﹖
如果你深愛泰迪熊如Ginger Brame一樣
那是絕對有可能的唷﹗
雖然我不會製作泰迪熊
卻很愛欣賞和收集它們
我有幸擁有一只Ginger所創作的熊寶寶
所以覺得很幸福
與其跟大家說一大堆美美的形容詞
倒不如大家到Ginger家去瞧瞧
就能了解為什么她的作品那麼受歡迎
Ginger的部落格最近也有好禮相送
如果你想有機會擁有以上照片裡的Easter Surprise
就要趕在二十四日或之前到她的部落格走走
祝你我好運﹗ (^o^)

A new book that I’m currently reading. Written by a taiwanese artiste, Aya, on her student life in US a couple of years ago. Pretty interesting.
Maybe I should consider studying overseas in the future? ^^
蠻喜歡這本阿雅的著作
寫得挺生動有趣的
或許我該考慮將來到外國念念書﹖ ^^

Although very tired, I’m in the mood for some scrapbooking. So I finally took out these unfinished pages from Modern Vintage, a class that I attended last year, and completed all of them at one go.
It sure feels great to be crafting again.
雖然覺得很疲倦
但卻很想作相簿美編
於是拿出了幾頁未完成的作品
這些都是去年參加相簿美編課程所留下的
今天就一次過把它們全部完成
再次動手作相簿美編的感覺真好

Hey buddy, thank you so much for giving me a call so soon after you reach Canada. I’m REALLY REALLY happy to hear your voice and chat with you even though we are so far apart.
It’s a completely new phase of life for you now, do take good care of yourself (both mentally & physically) and enjoy the new environment. Go ahead and do whatever you want to do (which you can’t in the past) and have fun.
But always remember, keep in touch regularly and whenever you need someone to talk to, just pick up the phone and dial my number! TAKE CARE!! ^^
謝謝妳
在這麼短的時間內就從加拿大打了通電話給我
雖然現在我們隔得很遙遠
但從電話那頭聽到妳的聲音
我真的真的很開心
現在對妳來說是個嶄新的開始
希望從今以後妳能隨心所欲的去做妳想做的事
但千萬記得
一定要好好照顧自己
要成為一個很堅強的人
也請一定要常常保持聯絡
想要說說話或聊心事時
隨時都可以撥電話給我
保重唷﹗﹗ ^^

Yes, more scrapbooking supplies! And I just can’t resist those lovely ribbons…they are selling out fast at Made With Love!! ^^
沒錯﹐小女子我又敗家了﹗
看到這些相簿美編的材料﹐尤其是那超可愛的緞帶﹐我就忍不住啦﹗
那緞帶可是店裡的搶手貨唷﹗﹗ ^^
Now I just got to find a sweet and cute container for my cutie ribbons……so here comes the lovely mushroom bottle to the rescue!! After purchasing the bottle for so long, it’s finally being put to good use.
那要拿什麼來儲藏我的可愛緞帶呢﹖
蘑菇瓶子﹐該到你出場了﹗﹗
裝進了緞帶﹐是不是更加可愛動人了呢﹖
Since there’s no more mushroom container available, I immediately thought of recycling the little preserve jar that I bought a couple of weeks ago.
So in you pop, my new little wooden brads! Aha….everything fits just nicely, yeh!!
蘑菇瓶子只有一個﹐可我還有別的東西要儲藏耶﹖
那就來循環不久前買的小果醬瓶子好了﹗
把木制的相簿美編材料裝進去
一切剛剛好﹗﹗
